My sequential imagery project was done in 3 sequential stages on one entire picture...the water is the main idea where I am trying to reach out to the audience togive the message - help save our environment by recycling, reducing, and reusing. There are many ideas I am trying to promote in one project: recycle plastic bottles, reduce use of water and plastic bottle use, and reuse by using glass water bottles.
I created numerous layers where I started with a background layer - a picture of water with a floating glass bottle in which I removed, and the sky including the clouds. I then used a picture of a large waterfall that I used the Clone stamp tool to clone the waterfall itself to place in the middle of my project.Then I placed the Statue of Liberty with the earth using clone stamp tool again to remove building around bottom of Statue of Liberty and then I did same procedure and added more bubbles. I cut out recycable bottles laying on bottom of water using the pen to draw around and then feathered and made selection - finally using magic eraser tool to get rid of most of background and then eraser tool to do detail work around after increasing size of object. Did same for plastic recycable sign, and plastic bottle - Statue of Liberty is trying to hold up a plastic bottle showing that we need to save the planet by recycling plastic bottles and not litter. Also, the earth and Statue of Liberty are underwater because if we don't all conserve then we can be heading in the wrong direction when it comes to our environment - we live in together. The objects around hand was done with same eraser tool procedure and placed like it was picking up the bottle to help with idea to reduce litter and help to recycle plastic bottles. Then same procedure done on glass bottle and pitcher to get rid of surrounding colors and background. This signifies the reusable glass bottles and use of a glass pitcher where it promotes idea of reusing to help save the environment and our planet.
